Tried the Lying Tricep Extensions, Assistance work for the Bench, 45# for 12 reps... Way to light.
Little energy left to burn before the weekend, so I did some Chins, Black band, 8,7,5reps
Good news is, This is the first time I have ever squatted over 275 or deadlifted 315. A little work on the upper body and I'll be the strongest I've ever been.

A few friends showed up when I was putting up plates after deadlift... So I stuck around and did some non-program work while running my mouth. Figured I had the weekend off and the Squat just reset. Progress wouldn't be harmed.
My thoughts moving forward is. I think I failed that squat because the deadlifts are taxing me, and the squat and deadlift are so close in weight. So I reset the squat. Hopefully the Deadlift will keep building. Then when I get up to where the Squat failed, I'll heavy squat every other day, opposite the deadlift. I know the book says Heavy on Monday and Friday, Light Squat day Wednesday... This way will be 10# a month slower if everything is perfect, and hopefully less taxing.

Week 13
7/25/2022
Squat 290*5 1 Set
Bench 205 2*3
Deadlift 275*5
That's all I could handle today. I did light Deadlifts today, because I kept falling down Saturday just trying to get up and go to the kitchen or bathroom, Wasn't about to try a PowerClean. Not great, but not bad considering there had been talks of a hospital trip on Saturday.
7/27/2022
Squat 275
Press 140
Deadlift 315
Full Sets, a bit light on the deadlift, 315 should have been my top warm-up. Couple more days and I'll be full swing again.
7/29/2022
Squat 280
Press 145*2*8
Bench 205
PowerClean 135
Dips 20# of assistance 10*3
Tried out some Heavy Doubles today, to see if I wanted to add those in between the days of heavy 3 sets of 5. I think I'll just add in a light day at 5*5. Same for Bench. So both pressing movements each workout coming soon. Looking back on this, it was a good call for the bench. Made the heavy days much better. I think it helped the press as well, but the Heavy days will soon be 15 reps however I can get them. If you see that change and wonder what is happening.

Squat Goal fell this week at 315, Headed for 365.
Press Goal is down as well at 155, hoping for 185 next even if it is moving slow.
First time I ran the program, I quit before hitting a Squat of 275 and a Deadlift of 315... soon I will hit the bench goal. I will be the strongest I have ever been in all movements.
With these goals being met, Maybe by Thanksgiving I can be crowding 250# Bodyweight with a 185# Press, 250# Bench, 365# Squat, and a 455# Deadlift... I've decided not to look at the scale, as long as I keep leaning out.... who gives a shit.
